Frosty the snowflake, I love the tank with the red/pink gravel. It's my favorite. :D

I've been watching this thread for a while because I love looking how other people decorate their tanks. I wanted to wait until I finally had my 5 gallon tank to post! Beau has it to himself. He's right on my nightstand in my dorm. I did have another tall fake plant behind the rock but I think it tore Beau's fin. So that plant is no more.

Whoa. That tank is amazing!

This is the new 3.5 gallon (approx) home of my first ever betta, a recently acquired VT named Sid Fishus:

The ornament looks huge - and it is! But it's a cave underneath, and Sid just loves lurking in there/ swimming in and out of all the gaps. I'll have to move it to vac the gravel, but that's okay.

I like the Dymax IQ5 for my beginner fishkeeper's tank because it has adjustable heating/lighting and is acrylic, so it's very light. I bought Sid a stick-on leaf hammock so he can rest close to the surface to make up for how vertical it is, and he really likes that. The rest of my household is highly amused at the idea of my fish having a hammock, as well as the way Sid loafs around on it.

I also have the IQ3, but I do think it's too small - just over 2g and taller than it is wide. He seems much happier in this tank. The IQ3 might be fine for a medication tank when I get its heater replaced, though.

Here is my tank which is about 1 week's old. The betta yet to be name, (suggestions would be great) :D, has this whole 10 gal (Im not really sure) to itself. :) Thinking of splitting it into two portions to house another betta. Not yet decided tho.

Thank you! I'm incredibly proud of it as it is my first tank that is not a Kritter Keeper!

You're welcome!! I have yet to make a tank look that good :P
